Flats, boots and booties that are produced almost entirely (95 percent!) From natural materials under fair and transparent conditions and at the same time can play in the top league of style?

Was aussieht wie eine inspirierende Reise durch die farbenfrohen Märkte und Landschaften Marokkos, stammt eigentlich aus Wien. Denn hier haben Alexandra, Sophie und Stephanie – auch bekannt als TATA girls – 2017 ihr Label Tassel Tales gegründet. Und was mit einer frech-fröhlichen Quaste begann, ist heute ein ausgewachsenes Ready-to-Wear- und Yoga-Label, das mit seinen intensiven Gute-Laune-Farben und der herrlich entspannten Bohemian Elegance auch den Fashion-verwöhnten Redakteurinnen der großen Magazine den Kopf verdreht.
Unter dem Motto designed in Wien – made in Marokko (oder Indien) lassen die TATA girls inspiriert von ihrer eigenen Reiselust, ihrem Faible für Yoga und ihrem Bewusstsein für Umwelt und Fairness ihre fröhlichen Boho-Kleider, Basttaschen und Quasten für fairen Lohn in Frauen-Kollektiven und Behinderten-Werkstätten produzieren. Sorry, aber wer auf farbloses Grau und dezentes Nude setzt, ist hier nicht richtig beraten.
„Kindness is so gangsta“ – Tassel Tales
Denn hier geht es um Allover-Prints und Farbe. Ganz viel Farbe. Fröhlich bunt wippen die ikonischen Quasten auf handgefertigten Babouchen aus Seide und chromfreiem Leder mit den maximal-entspannten Boho-Kleidern aus Ahimsa-Seide um die Wette. Denn gewaltlose Seide ist bei Tassel Tales genauso ein Muss wie die GOTS-Zertifizierung der verwendeten Materialien.
Erweitert haben die Drei ihr Gute-Laune-Angebot um Jeansjacken. Für dieses Upcycling-Projekt arbeiten die Tassel-Tales-Gründerinnen mit kunstvollen Vintage-Teppichen, die jedes Stück zum zeitlosen Unikat machen. Sieht mega aus, macht aber die Entscheidung schwer…
Can you feel the GOOD VIBES? Ja, Mode mit Seele fühlt sich eben anders an…
